Video/ Action for Goldenrod TR base
[There's another new face on the network today. A young boy with a wide but very tired smile.]
Hello everyone!
It seems like it's a rite of passage for people that are new to introduce themselves here, so I wanted to say hello too. My name is Ijyuin Akira, but I don't mind if you just want to call me Akira. I've never trained any animals before, so I'm not sure I have the hang of everything here yet...
[No, he definitely doesn't. Behind him you can see two Vulpix digging through the backpack new arrivals are provided with, tipping it over to look for sweets and leftover trail mix. He isn't even trying to stop them at this point.]
Ha! Maybe if I perform badly enough, I'll get kicked out of this place and I can go home!
[Although he's laughing, he isn't sure himself whether that's a joke or a sincere wish...]
But in the meantime, if you have any advice for me I'd be very grateful. It would be really nice to finally meet some friendly faces...
[Action for the Team Rocket base in Goldenrod City]
It's been a long couple of days. First, and most heartbreakingly of all, Christmas morning was stolen from him - instead of making breakfast for his mothers and opening presents together, he had found himself waking up alone in a Team Rocket dorm. An organisation, he's since learned in training, founded on stealing animals from their owners. And his own animal companions? They're so badly behaved he's actually been having nightmares about them!
But it's going to be okay. How, he hasn't figured out yet. But it will be.
The first step is picking up all the things his Pokemon have strewn in to the hallway. Tripping over one of these red and white balls rolling around is only going to make the rest of the team even more grumpy.
It really would be nice to have someone to help him put everything away again, but... he can't say he's holding his breath.

[Granted, he's kind of been a lousy trainer lately, what with his focus on his own fighting skills over battles, but details.]

[whaaaaaaaaaaat]
video
[Heh. Not that he can blame the guy for his reaction.]
But before you freak out, I swear I'm in the minority.
video
[It's a bit too late to be making requests like that.]
What must all your friends think has happened to you if you've been gone for three years?!
video
[He chuckles, running a hand through his head.]
Time's frozen back home. Nobody even knows we're gone unless they get dragged here with us.
video
I don't mean to doubt you, but how can you be sure of something like that?
video
[And better yet, he's experienced them himself.]
First of all, people get dragged here from different points in time. Case in point? My best friend's from more than a year ahead of me, and I've bumped into people from a decade behind us. If our presence here caused problems, don't you think we'd be seeing some wildly different timelines?
Plus, you've got people who slip into comas. Their minds get pulled back to their worlds at the exact moment they left, and they wake up a week later with new memories.
video
Wow... That almost sounds unbelievable...
[Almost. Anyone who's decided to answer a new arrival's cries for help must be trustworthy, he thinks, so of course be believes every word.]
At least we aren't making anyone worried about us at home.
video
[He snorts. Man, he remembers the old days...]
You should've seen people three years ago, fighting to get badges because they thought those were our ticket home. Everyone was determined to get out of here.
video
What is our ticket home?
video
[He shrugs.]
Nobody really knows how it happens. Some people just disappear, and there's no real pattern to it.
